So will you tell me why we even bother to send troops to Niger?
Ever hear of Eisenhower's warning to beware the military/industrial complex? This is a prime example.
Troops are in Africa for the same reason we sent them to Vietnam - to stop "undesireables" (i.e. communists) - only this time it's ISIS terrorists.
It's all BS.

This reminds me of the Senator’s speech re: haves/have-nots to Swaggarr in The Shooter, but this was a RAT-designed mission.

Which is why I said just drop a few bombs by drones and call it a day.
